She's gruff and tough and
her booming voiea still roars
with gale-like gus;o out senti-
mental Sophie Tucker is still
a softie!
One of the most generous-heart-
ed folks in show-business, Sophie
Is noxec as a giver" to many of
the leading charities in every city

t>roa<-h,ng the $1,000,000 mark in
disbursements to worthy causes all
over the world.
Sophie knows no barriers in her
generosity and contributes equally
to all-worthy causes regardless of

Israel held non-voting participat-
sion in debates on the Palestine
problem, although not a member .of
the Security Council. It was in this
capacity that Abba S. Eban, Israel
delegate, put forth his demand.
British delegate Sir Gladwyn
Jebb asserted that his country was
concerned over the Egyptian canal
blockade for several reasons.
First, said Sir Gladwyn, there
was the legal question of free pas-
sage through the canal which con-
nects the Mediterranean with the
Indian Ocean. Second, he said, the
Egyptian practice has made the
large oil refineries in Haifa, Israel,
practically inactive, thus hurting
other; countries which depend on
those installations for oil supplies.
Israel, Jordan and Egypt were
also told to attempt to settle their
differences at home and not bring
them before the Security Council.
Warren R. Austin, head of the U. S.
delegation, introduced the com-
plaint which was couched in diplo-
matic politeness.
A spokesman for the United
States, Britain, and France, who
sponsored the complaint, explained:
"We want them to handle these
matters over there and not come
here, bothering us with detail."
In Israel observers were still
studying the results of the munici-
pal elections last Tuesday. The re-
sults are being closely watched for
two reasons:
They will determine whether the
coalition of left-of-center parties
that dominate the national adminis-
tration will gain control also of lo-
cal administrations, most of which
are now run by right-of-center par-
ties in opposition to the Ben Guri-
on national Government.
They will test the trend of po-
litical thought in the country for
the first time since the Knesset
(Parliament) was elected in Janu-
ary, 1949.
Christian Colony
TEL AVIV, (JTA) Prepara-
tions are under way to establish
a Baptist agricultural settlement
near Petach Tikvah the first
Christian settlement since the
proclamation of Israel state-
hood. 'Rev. R. L. Lindse< will
lead the settlement, which will
include a Bible school where
the langauge of instruction wil!
be Hebrew.
Initially, some SO persons will
reside in the settlement. Part
of the funds required for the
project was received from Bap-
tists living in southern states
in the U. S. The settlers will in-
clude several former Jews who
joined the Baptist congregation
while living in Europe. Most of
the settlers are familiar with
the Hebrew language.

Jewish Candidates
Are Fading From
The Political Scene
By DAVID SCHWARTZ
As one looks over the newspaper, surveying the results of
the elections, the names of Jews seem ^ery few and far between.
Almost negligible in fact. There is of course Senator Lehman in
New York and Congressman Sabbath in Illinois. There may
have been a couple of others elected from predominantly Jewish
districts, but the Jewish showing, it must be admitted, is very
small indeed.

nual luncheon of Mew England

When we take into consideration
the strong Jewish social conscious-

in fields which have a >ublic as-

the inconspicuousness O'^Jews in

are concerned is all the more
striking.
Afraid of Rejection
I suppose the principal reason 'is
that are afraid of rejection be-
cause we are Tews. The story is
.old x Benjamin Disraeli that in
Ins first canvas for political office,
one Ji the voters whom ne solicited
for support, said to him "Why, I
woulc rather vote for the Devil
than for you.'
Disraeli calmly replied, "But in
the event of your friend not stand-
ing, nay I count on your interest?"
Tha' was a healthy attitude Ac-
tually as indeed the career of Dis-
laeli showed, the anti-Jewish bogy
is exaggerated. When boldly faced,

Morocco's first and only psy-
chiatric social worker in all
its history of abject poverty
and squalor was trained in
this country by the National
Council of Jewish Women.
The training was provided
through Council's scholarship pro-
gram in order that the social work-
er might return to Morocco and aid
her fellow-Jews living in "sub-hu-
man" conditions.
"Trained leadership in Europe
was virtually exterminated by Hit-
ler," explained Mrs. Moise S. Cahn,
first vice-president of Council.
"That is the reason Council set up
its scholarship program."
Mrs. Cahn, who is a graduate of
Simmons College but a resident of
New Orleans, La., recently visited
the Hub in order to conduct a
workshop for board and committee
members of Council's Boston Sec-
tion.

poised woman, her youthful ap-
pearance belied the fact that she is

More On Being Selective
About Our Allies Today
By ROBERT E. SEGAL
Last week, we discussed only the surface evidences of a cur-
rent spurious campaign to equate anti-Communism with de-
mocracy.
Now we want to deal with the matter at a more signicant
level.
We take our cue from William Henry
Chamberlin, long an intellectual isolationist,
whose "America's Second Crusade" sees our
entrance into World War II as a second yield-
ing to hysteria and pressure.
Mr. Chamberlin nas been everlastingly
right in his distaste for the Kremlin he ap-
pears quite as wrong in his continuing effort
to minimize the threat of Nazi Germany. Even
in retrospect, he sees our fight with Germany
as Franklin Roosevelt's fight alone. It was
only an illusion, he holds, that Hitler was bent
SEGAL on the destruction of the British Empire.
See the weeds that have sprouted from the miserable seeds
sown at Yalta, he reasons. We were wrong, wrong, wrong ever
to have let ourselves be yoked with Russia in the scrap with
Germany.
